He will do custom designs, as well. Mats are sold in packs of ten (www.publiqueshop.com). (AP Photo/Publique Shop, Lian Ng)

This undated publicity photo provided by Chilewich shows pressed filigree gold-white placemats. Sandy Chilewich?s finely embossed ornamental design is created with a one of a kind mold and is spot printed with metallic foil to suggest the weathered look of a delicate old textile, although the mat itself is durable vinyl (www.chilewich.com).
